Asus P6X58D Premium Mobo

[ghostcell]

I just bought this mobo like 2 days ago and really wanted to oc it bad. Well, I have know idea how to start. I cant change the cpu multiplier or the BCLK or really anything. Not too sure what setting it needs to be on for me to change everything. Tried using turbov but I need to get the BIOS set up for it. If anyone can help me out that would be great.

You need to set "Ai Overclock Tuner" to "Manual" instead of "Auto" to be able to adjust the overclocking parameters. Check page 3-12 of the manual for more on the overclocking settings.

You shouldn't OC anything for at least 2 weeks there is a burn in period.

I am ignorant to OC'ing as this is my first build. I was doing some research before beginning and landed on this page. I had no idea there was a burn in period. Thanks for that post JuiceMan01!!!!!

That's a bit of a shame.
There is no fixed burn in period.
It's a good idea to run your machine for awhile to make sure there are no hardware issue's, but if you are inclined to do so, you can start overclocking as soon as your done loading your OS and the appropriate testing software.
